Intel Core i9-13900K and i5-13600K Review: Raptor Lake Brings More Bite
by Gavin Bonshor on October 20, 2022 9:00 AM ESTGaming Performance: 1080p
Moving along, here's a look at a more balanced gaming scenario, running games at 1080p with maximum image quality.
Civilization VI
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Grand Theft Auto V
Red Dead Redemption 2
F1 2022
Hitman 3
Total War: Warhammer 3
Cyberpunk 2077
The 1920 x 1080p resolution is still popular with users (even I still game at 1080p), and looking at our results with our AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card, the 13th Gen Core series processors are highly competitive. In some cases, AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 96 MB of 3D V-Cache makes for a great value in gaming, even if it's not really on par with Ryzen 7000 or Intel's 13th Gen in compute performance.
There are certainly trade-offs depending on the title on whether the game favors AMD or Intel, but the key thing to take is, things are competitive, especially at 1080p gaming.

Wow, what is going on with Civ 5 and Intel 12/13 series CPUs? They get absolutely wrecked. Replyshoestring - Tuesday, October 25, 2022 - link
"...eeking out every last bit of performance" +1 for word choice, -1 for the spelling: it's actually "eking", which looks weird to me too! https://www.dictionary.com/browse/eke ReplyRyan Smith - Tuesday, October 25, 2022 - link
You are correct. The article has been fixed.I humbly accept my deduction in points. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Reply

I am surprised Gavin did not include the cooler and perhaps beefier power supply in the price comparison: clearly, if you get an Intel system, you need a *much* bigger cooler, especially if you care about noise. And you might need a bigger power supply, especially if you plan on getting an nVidia 4000-series card. Replynader_21007 - Wednesday, November 2, 2022 - link
THX for the review.It should be mentioned that INTEL's 13900K is nowhere near the MSRP of $589, I expect the writer to check the real prices, it's price is $795, about $100 more than AMD's ryzen 7950X.
AMD CPU's are cheaper. it's FACT. Reply

I wonder if the 5.8 GHz turbo is going to last more than 1 nanosecond at a time. ReplyVVTF - Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - link
The sad thing is, I find this Alder Lake-N review for Nuc Boxes on Anadtech much more interesting:https://www.anandtech.com/show/21085/asrock-indust... Reply
